Ways to top up on pay as you go

How would you like to top up?

Using My EE

You can top up with a credit or debit card using My EE 24/7.

We accept Visa, MasterCard and Maestro UK credit and debit cards as well as non-UK cards. Payments are managed by Vesta, EE’s trusted payment partner, so the name Vesta will appear on your bank or credit card statement as Vesta *EE Top Up along with a 0808 free of charge helpline phone number.

To get a link to download the My EE app, just text APP to 150 from your EE phone.

By text

If you’ve already registered a credit or debit card you can top up by text. You can easily register a card by going to My EE.

Payments are managed by Vesta, EE’s trusted partner - so the name Vesta will appear on your bank or credit card statement as Vesta *EE Top Up along with an 0808 free of charge helpline phone number.

To top up, text the following to 150:

The letters CR

The last four digits of your registered credit or debit card number

The amount you want to top up (between £5 and £95)

For example, to top up £10: CR 1234 10

Please note: Remember to include spaces between each set of digits. We’ll send you a text to confirm that your top-up has been added to your account.

Calling us

Call 150 from your EE phone.

Choose top up from the options given and follow the instructions.

You can top up by credit or debit card, top up someone else’s phone or redeem an e-voucher. We accept Visa, MasterCard and Maestro UK credit and debit cards.

Payments are managed by Vesta, EE’s trusted partner - so the name Vesta will appear on your bank or credit card statement as Vesta *EE Top Up along with an 0808 free of charge helpline phone number.

As we're upgrading our payment system from 3 March 2016, you'll be asked to set up a four-digit PIN code if you already have a registered payment card when you use the automated phone service for the first time. This will make topping up faster and more secure.

This four-digit PIN code will need to be entered before every top-up using this service. If you want to reset your PIN, call 150 free from an EE or T-Mobile pay as go phone and select the options to top up using a credit or debit card.

Call costs

Using our automated phone service is free at any time within the UK, but you'll be charged 25p per call to speak to an agent.

Opening hours

Simply tell us how often and how much you want to top up and the card details that will be charged.

You can get credit every week, on the same date every month, or every 30 days.

You’ll get a text when it’s set up, and every time a top-up is made. And if you change your mind, you can change your Recurring Top-Up or even cancel it at any time.

If you have a pay as you go pack, you can set up your account to top up automatically the day before it’s about to renew. So if your pack updates on the 16th, set your top-up for the 15th - then you’ll always have enough credit for it to start again.

You don’t even need a UK bank account. If you’re travelling in the UK, you can set up a Recurring Top-Up with a card from abroad.

The legal bit:

We’ll keep taking your Recurring Top-Up until you tell us to stop. EE only refunds unused credit in limited circumstances, see ee.co.uk/terms for details. If you don’t use your phone to call, text or for data for 90 days, we’ll suspend your Recurring Top-Up until you use your phone again. If you don’t use your phone at least once every 180 days, it will be disconnected: your number and any credit on your account will be stopped.

Using an E-voucher

An E-voucher is a card or receipt printed with a unique 16-digit voucher number.
You can get them from EE stores and over 100,000 shops around the UK, anywhere you see the top-up logo.

EE vouchers can be used to top up Orange and T-Mobile pay as you go accounts. E-vouchers for EE accounts are valid for six months. E-vouchers for Orange and T-Mobile accounts are valid for one month.
